Jim ("Jamie"), John, Jeff, Chris, and Mrs. Libutti,
I am sorry to hear that your father, and husband, passed away. I have fond memories of him and the wonderful youthful times we all had together on Widewaters Lane. I am glad that you saw my parents today in your dad's honor and everyone caught up with each other. As you heard, we are enjoying being busy with the boys. All the best to you!

For all of the years since 1979, when I first met George Libutti, whenever I saw him, he always had a kind word and warm smile. Truly one of our very best in the Real Estate Profession! He was a special man and citizen of Rochester, NY; all who knew him will miss him.

Sally and family, my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. George was a gracious man always. I remember sharing lector duties with him and discussions about the Cape. "When are you going? We'll wave to you. Ahh, it's a great place," he would say. Now, he is in a greater place, the arms of God. Rest in peace, George. He will be sadly missed while joyfully remembered and always held in prayer.

George was a true mentor and friend to me as I began my broadcasting career in 1952 at WRNY. He was already a highly respected DJ, and he took me under his wings and "taught me the ropes." He followed me quickly to WVET (which became WROC-TV)when we took over the facility in the early 1960s.) We often subbed for each other on TV as our stars ascended over Rochester, After George left the airways he was the GM at Nothnagle's Fairport office and was Doris L. Rosack's boss when she became my mother-in-law. Doris, now 92 and in sound health, lives with us in Marietta, GA; she says of George LiButti, "He was more than a real estate tycoon---he was a remarkable gentleman, the emphasis being on 'gentle man',"
